The problem is that that does not release you from your contractual obligation to pay every month. The company is still free to (and often does) send you to collections.

It only makes sense to pay extra for AI if you scream “WE’RE USING AI” at the top of your lungs to investors, hoping they’ll throw more money at you.

If the FCC were functional, it would be nice for carriers to expose priority in the phone icons. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to explain to friends who lamented about “Full bars but no service, weird.” The current iconography is

Even if you have it in writing, you need to have the tenacity to hold them to it in court. They can do the fun corporate game of “computer says no” and defy your written agreement as a gamble that you’re not willing to spend time and money

My most recent instance of this is online ordering with Dunkin’ Donuts. The app has no feedback to indicate what items are in stock, so it’s possible to order things that can’t be fulfilled. If you don’t want their substitute, the store can
